What's happening in Danish Decommissioning?

They have raised the kursk nuclear submarine from the bottom of the arctic ocean and erected an overturned 80-ton crane at the Lindø shipyard after the 1999 hurricane. Now Dutch Mammoet with its muscle cranes must pull up a giant metal plug from Risø's largest research reactor.

Danish Decommissioning has been granted DKK 1.1 million to prepare a decision-making basis for the Danish Parliament regarding the establishment of a Danish interim storage facility for low- and intermediate-level waste. This will be done in cooperation with GEUS and the Danish Radiation Protection Institute (SIS).

Follow the work to break down Denmark's largest research reactor DR3 from the former Risø Research Centre. Our task is to decontaminate the former experimental area on the Risø peninsula into a "green field" - i.e. to remove radioactivity and chemicals so that the area can be used without restrictions in the future. The DR3 reactor is one of the projects.

On 24 January 2013, the Finance Committee approved Act No 57, in which the Ministry of Health requests DKK 3 million from unused funds in Section 19.51.03 for Danish Decommissioning to finance costs associated with the characterisation and conditioning of radioactive waste.
